Non-commercial Database Use

Hi,
Doing some database research.
Is Oracle Database 11g Express the only free edition of oracle db for even non-commercial use? Or is there a version that has unlimited User-data as long as it is for non-commercial use only?
Thanks

ThanksYes, Oracle XE is the database that you can use as free not just for non-commercial but for commercial purpose as well. But if your requirement is jus to go for the non-commercial purpose, you can use even the Enterprise Edition too which comes along with the development license.
That said, any question related to licensing must be directed to Oracle's Sales and to your local sales rep.

Can a non-RAC database use SCAN ?

I have a 4 node 11gR2 cluster which has all different kinds of versions ( 10g ,11gR1 & 11gR2 ) on both RAC & NON RAC .
I know for sure that I can use SCAN for non 11gR2 databases for RAC databases .
For standalone db's It seems like it is working intermitently but is this supported ? the reason why I ask is there is no documentation on how to configure or troubleshoot for non-RAC using SCAN .
Appreciate your help
Ravi

I was trying to find some information about the issue, but i think SCAN is really designed for RAC databases.
You don't really need to use the SCAN for what you just described:
you can update the client tnanames with the vip addresses of all nodes with FAILOVER = ON
Example:
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=node1-vip)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=node2-vip)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=node3-vip)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=node4-vip)(PORT=1521))
(FAILOVER = ON)
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=DB.WORLD))
However, you can try this (i never tried it, but i think it should work):
- See the document http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10813/undrstnd.htm#BEICFAIC
+... If you do not set LOCAL_LISTENER, then the Database Agent automatically keeps the database associated with the Grid home's node listener updated...+
So don't set the LOCAL_LISTENER in your db.
- Update the client tnsnames with the SCAN if the version of the database is 11.2.0.1
- Try to see if it works fine
- Move your db to another node and try again

Cloning Non EBS Database with Rapid Clone.

Hi DBAs,
It might sound weird but I was curious that - Can you clone the regular oracle database (Non EBS) using rapid clone. Lets suppose if I copy over appsutil directory from a EBS database and manually edit the context file with current instance information. Also if I need to do some changes in shell/perl scripts of rapid clone etc.
Have any one done it in past by doing some magic and tricks or Is there automated script based cloning available for regular databases?
Thanks
-Naveed-

Hi Naveed,
I believe it is not possible as Rapid Clone is an Oracle Apps utility, so Oracle does not support cloning non-Apps databases using Rapid Clone.
In addition, there is no context file or AutoConfig in such a database, which is required for Rapid Clone to work properly.
Is there automated script based cloning available for regular databases? For this cloning, you can use the manual method, export/import, or RMAN.

My microsoft office programs (Home and Business 2013) all desplay error message at startup stating " non-commercial use, not licenced product". How do I fix this?

Hi,
Whenever I start any of my microsoft programs I get an error message stating "non-commercial use, not licenced product" and I cannot do anything in the programs. I havve the Home and Business 2013 version.
My husband bought the office programs for his and my computer and so they are both registered to his name however my email is the login, I dont know if this is relevant.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
Based on your description, several possibilities come to my mind.
1. You mentioned your husband bought the Office Suite for you, did he purchase one product key or two? We need to confirm if the product key can be installed on multiple machines, if a product key can be only installed once and he installed it
on his computer first, you should purchase a new product key to activate your Office.
Since the policy differs in different areas, to confirm how many machines the product key can be installed on, let your husband ask the retailer or contact the local customer service to get the answer:
http://support2.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
2. Please confirm your Office version. Based on the message "non-commercial use", I found this kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937676/
But it's for Office Home and Student instead of Office Home and Business, we can perform the steps below to find the Microsoft Software License Terms:
1. Start and Office program.
2. On the File (Backstage) tab, click Account.
3. Click About (Product name: Word, Excel etc..), in the window that opens, click
View the Microsift Software License Terms link.
3. If your Office is a trial version or the product key is not for the version that you are using, consider to uninstall it first, and install the appropriate version. You can probably get the installation media from your husband.

Can Jdeveloper Be Used For Non-Oracle Databases

I have been trying to evaluate Jdeveloper 9i and Jbuilder 7 Enterprise for Swing database development. I am particularly interested in the productivity enhancements such as BC4J and Jclient. The underlying database might be Oracle, SapDb (excellent, easy to use, and free), SQLServer, etc.
I evaluated Jbuilder Enterprise tools and it worked flawlessly with SapDb. This emphasized using their DataExpress and DbSwing components which provide many useful capabilities similar to BC4j and Jclient. It also involved using their DBPilot tool which allows browsing similar to that provided via a Jdeveloper connection.
I tried to use Jdeveloper for the same SapDB and it is essentially non-functional. I followed the instructions for using a non-default driver and tried to define a connection. It behaved inconsistently: often saying no suitable driver can be found and yet when you edit the connection and test without making any changes, it works. If you try to establish a BC4J definition, it is very inconsistent and fails to recognize important details as foreign keys. Even if you define a ViewLink manually, it still does not work properly if you attempt to define a Master-Detail Jclient form. As I have stated, all these types of capabilities worked flawlessly in their Jbuilder equivalent. Furthermore, I really like the fact that Jbuilder gives many of BC4Js benefits without needing a BC4J J2EE container.
Has anyone had real success using Jdeveloper's advanced features to develop for non-Oracle databases and if so, how did you get around these types of problems?

Hi,
generally, SCAN can be used for 10g databases and you discovered the first half: for 10g databases you will have to modify the REMOTE_LISTENER entry for each 10g database instance to point to the SCAN listeners (as opposed to pointing to the remote local listeners, which is the default in 10g). You could even have the databases registers themselves with SCAN and the remote listeners, if you wanted to... It's more or less a matter of configuration. But for simplification reasons, I will stick to the case where you have your 10g databases register with the SCAN listeners only.
Now the other half is the client and the client configuration. An 11g Rel. 2 client configured for RAC would have a TNSNAMES entry that has only one address line for the RAC databases. The host entry in this one address line should point to the SCAN (the SCAN name is ideally resolved in DNS). A 10g client configured for RAC would have as many address lines in the TNSNAMES as you have nodes in the cluster.
The 10g client SCAN configuration would then be in the middle so to speak: You would have 3 address lines in your TNSNAMES, in which each host entry would resolve to one SCAN address (I assume you will use the recommended default of 3 SCAN IPs). If you choose, you can have a name resolution for each of your SCAN IPs, but this would not be required. Now, why would you do it this way? Because this configuration will always work and does not make you dependent on certain functionality that your DNS server may or may not offer.
For the remaining questions: SCAN is a DNS entry resolving one name to more than one (typically 3) IP addresses. OID is short for Oracle Internet Directory, which is a complete LDAP server. And you are right that there is no document how to configure 10g clients for SCAN from Oracle yet. However, there is a quite good document on SCAN on otn.oracle.com/rac, but I am sure you are aware of it already.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Markus

Using Non BI database as source to Build SSAS cubes and SSRS reports .

hi,
I have a requirement where I have to use existing database(OLTP) as my source to the SSAS cubes and then to build the reports.
Where for Cubes and Reports I uses SQL Server BI edition. But my existing source data will be in non BI database.
My questions are
1) Can I create Fact and Dimension Model in Non BI Db and connect the same to SSAS and SSRS? What you suggest?
2) Can I use cubes and reports without modifying the existing OLTP DB structure to fact and Dimension?
Thanks

1. Yes. you can
It doesnt necessary need to set up a OLAP system. However making design inline with OLAP would be easier to implement in SSAS
2. Again yes
But using OLTP designed tables in SSAS/SSRS would require some additional overheads at querying level like referenced lookups in SSAS vs lots of joins in backend queries in SSRS.

Use of non-migratable database link not allowed ERROR

Hello,
We have a notification process (on disabled user) in OIM that needs to connect to a schema in another instance to check some information before the notification is sent out.
We have OIM in an instance A and the other schema lives in the instance B. We created a database link from A to B, some synonyms, and grant the right permissions for OIM to select the tables in the schema on instance B.
We can login to OIM using SQL Developer and execute the query without any problems.
However, when the query is executed in the Disable User process task, we got the error:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-24777: use of non-migratable database link not allowed
We tried to create a view in OIM that is similar to the one that lives in the schema in instance B. However, the same error exists.
How can we work around this error?
Thanks

with all the info you have put here all I can say is : (with some help from google ;-) )
ORA-24777: use of non-migratable database link not allowed
Cause: The transaction, which needs to be migratable between sessions, tried to access a remote database from a non-multi threaded server process.
Action: Perform the work in the local database or open a connection to the remote database from the client. If multi threaded server option is installed, connect to the Oracle instance through the dispatcher.

I've gotten past this by creating the dblink as SHARED.
The SQL is
CREATE SHARED DATABASE LINK "yourlink"
CONNECT TO "dbuser" IDENTIFIED BY "dbuserpassword"
AUTHENTICATED BY "dbuser" IDENTIFIED BY "dbuserpassword"
USING 'databasename';
note the quote character use.
You can also use SQL Developer to adjust this.
This does depend on shared database connections between your db's.

Linux non-oracle user cannot connect to database using TNS

LS,
I've installed Oracle 11gR2 on a linux box (name="ilmserver") running CentOS 5.4 (based on RHEL).
Created user "oracle" and groups "oinstall" and "dba".
Installation under user "oracle" went fine, and logged in as "oracle" user I can - naturally - access the database easily (via SQL+, or using SQL Developer it works via Basic, TNS, and Advanced (=jdbc)).
I have a second user on the linux box called "informatica", on which I have installed Informatica ILM 5.3.2, which uses the Oracle database as its repository.
The "informatica" user has been granted the same groups as the "oracle" user, i.e. "oinstall" and "dba".
I have severe problems accessing the Oracle database as the "informatica" user.
Using SQL Developer I can access the database using the "Basic" method, but not TNS.
But guess what: for ILM to work to its fullest extent I need to implement an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN.
I have implemented it, it sits in bash_profile and as such works fine:
+[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ echo $TNS_ADMIN+
+/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin+
But as for being able to access it:
+[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ cat $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora+
cat: /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora: Permission denied
Somehow I thought that granting "oinstall" group to "informatica" user would take care of this. Obviously it doesn't. I also granted "dba" group to "informatica", to no avail apparently.
This is then - I assume - also the reason that when I want to connect using TNS from within SQL Developer, the dropdown list is empty (because it's not able to read TNSNAMES.ORA).
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks heaps!
Cheers, Patrick

Naturally the "oracle" user has full access to its own directories.
A thought just occurred to me. I assume that theoretically it's possible to grant read privilige to informatica user on all these directories... would that do the trick?
But even if so, makes me wonder whether that is "best practice".
Also, I cannot imagine I'm the first person to encounter this scenario, and therefore there must be some standard approach to enable this.
Any suggestions/thoughts?
As for the TNSNAMES.ORA suggestion, I guess that is possible. Makes administration of TNSNAMES a bit more cumbersome though, as in, 2 files to maintain... risk of getting out of sync when making 'quick and dirty' changes without thinking things through too much (which shouldn't happen... but sometimes does anyway).
I'd prefer a solution where "informatica" has genuine access to TNSNAMES.ORA.
Thanks, Patrick

Stratus non-commercial Terms of Use

Dear Adobe advisers,
I would like to check whether a site like Chatroulette violates Stratus Terms of Use for non-commercial service.
Can Adobe clarify on 'non-commercial' use?
Or can a site like Chatroulette or other similar site use Stratus instead of LCCS?
Thanks in advanced.

No reply?
There are dozen of Chatroulette-clone that uses Stratus.
Seems like "non-commercial" is up to one's own interpretation and Stratus is up to uses as one seems fit.

Outlook Pro 2007 'Non-Commercial Use Only' issue

I have outlook 2007 that states that it is for 'non-commercial use only'
I have searched far and wide for the answer but to find nothing.
There was no upgrade from 2003/home/student. Just straight OS load, Office Pro 2007 load. They did tell me that after 'something' happened it started to show that. So it has been not showing that for months, maybe years, until about 2 months ago. They can't
tell me what that 'something' was because they can't remember.
It seems to me that the only way is to reload the PC completely. We are running a KMS and in a company of 1500 PCs about 3% are having this issue. Very small but enough for me to get a call about it.
Please dont tell me:
That I had Home&Student - I dont
To do repairs/uninstall/reinstall - I have 30x
To do reg edits - Reg shows that the Product ID is correct and there are no 9.0/11.0 containers
To deal with it - We have programs that use Outlook and are affected
Tp check updates - Uninstalled as far back as they can remember when it started (2012)
Don't link this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2020690/en-us
Sorry about being kind of straight forward and mean but I'm bashing my head trying to figure this out. I rather not reload 40+ PC just for this issue.

Who are "they"?
Have you verified that the correct key has been used, the Office client can renew the key via the KMS, sufficient keys/licenses are available on the KMS (depending on your licensing method) and that no unlicensed Office 2007 components are installed?
You can use the "cscript ospp.vbs" commands to further narrow things down.
For instance with:
cscript ospp.vbs –act
cscript ospp.vbs –dhistory
Also note that SP3 and later updated haven't been applied yet.

Hi,
Do you have Home and Student Version of Office?
When you start a Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 or 2007 program, the title bar of the program displays the name of the program followed by "non-commercial use." For example, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 displays "Microsoft
Excel non-commercial use" or "Book1 - Microsoft Excel non-commercial use."
Cause:
The "non-commercial use" text is based on the Microsoft Software License Terms for Office Home and Student 2010 or 2007 products.
In the Microsoft Software License Terms, the "non-commercial use" text identifies the use of the product. You may install one licensed copy of the software on three devices in your household. The software is not licensed for any commercial business

Xml data into non-xml database.. solution anyone?

Hi,
My current project requires me to store the client's data on our servers. We're using Oracle9i. Daily, I will download the client's data for that day and load it into our database. My problem is that the data file is not a flat file so I can't use sql*loader to load the data. Instead, the data file is an xml file. What is the best way to load xml data into a non-xml database? Are there any tools similar to sql*Loader that will load xml data into non-xml database? Is it the best solution for the client to give me an XML dump of their data to load into our database, or should I request a flat file? My last resort would be to write some sort of a script to parse the xml data into a flat file, and then run it through sql*loader. Is this the best solution? One thing to note is that these files could be very large.
Thanks in advance.

I assume that just putting the XML file into an
extremely large VARCHAR field is not what you want.
Instead, you want to extract data elements from the
XML and write them to columns in a table in your
database. Right?Yes. Your assumption is correct.
It sounds like you already have a script that loads a
flat file into your database. In that case I would
write an XSL transformation that converts the client's
XML into a correctly-formatted flat file.Thank you. I'll look into that. Other suggestions are welcome.
